Miami Hurricanes

The Hurricanes don’t have a very deep team. Seven guys have started every game, with the exception of one guy in one game and the last time Miami played, those seven played the entire game.

That was a home loss to North Carolina on Saturday. Prior to that, Miami’s last game was the Saturday before. So this is just its second game in almost two weeks.

The ‘Canes haven’t played well this season. They suffered through a rough four-game losing streak in the early part of the non-conference. They’ve only won once in five ACC games, too.

But this is a team that can shoot it. There are five double-digit scorers and none of them turn it over very much. They have more assists than turnovers as a team and can shoot the outside shot better than average.

Syracuse Orange

But Miami doesn’t crash the offensive boards, almost not at all. They are in the 300s in team rebounding and shouldn’t hurt Syracuse where Syracuse can get hurt the most.

The Orange didn’t slump after the big road win over Duke. It came back and handled Pitt by double-digits at home; it wasn’t a convincing win but it was enough.

Jim’s son, Buddy Boeheim, is averaging about a dozen minutes per game and if you were to look at his stats, it might make sense that he is the coach’s son. He’s only shooting 29 percent and 30 from beyond the arc. He does play smart, take care of the ball and provide leadership, though.

Since Dec. 19, Syracuse has only lost once, a head-scratching home loss to Georgia Tech. Right now, ‘Cuse is one of five teams in the ACC with just one loss.

Syracuse is often at its worst in the games that appear to be easy. I’m with the points.
